The M&H winglets do indeed increase the L/D. The amount, I cannot be
certain.

They also give you better low speed handling which is good in a 20 since on
takeoff, you don't have much for a while. Before them, I had wing drops.
After them, none.

It thermals slower also.

But I bought them because the look bitchin'.

Does anyone have an opinion on how accurate this claim is.
Is there other manufacturers that make them ,net sites please
and opinions if you have them.
